Yes, but you have a point the flange on the digitizer is not so great, I really need to listen to my S1000, D640 and i1.28 and dial in a flanger and chorus, just to compare them again.
As for the flanger pedal, I have the impression that it's more chorus than flanger sounding at certain settings, but I love the chorus sounds you can get out of it.
Also great for chorus is the ADA STD-1, GREAT unit for that.
Hey MJMP,
I never said the flange in the Digitizer was not so great, not at all, In point of fact, The Digitizer has good effects all the way around, but you can use only one at a time. The only possible negative thing about the Digitizer is the chorus is not as lush as the S-1000's or the "i" series delays. I can't speak about the D640 or the STD-1, as I've never had either to try out or compare. I did see a STD-1 on ebay a long time ago, but what the guy was asking for it was ridiculous! I would never pay $1000 for an old effect unit that only has a frequency response up to 12000KHz. 16000KHz was the best ADA ever did with any of their effects.
I never tried to get chorus effects from the Flanger pedal, I always used it for flange and extreme flange settings, since I was always covered with the chorus. That pedal probably didn't have any better frequency response than any other ADA effect, but the thing I loved about it the most, is that it's the quietest Flanger I've ever heard. With all the other Flanger's I've tried, you could hear the sweep of the analog clock if the effect was on, especially if you were using a high gain setting. Not with that pedal. In fact, my only beef about it was that they didn't include a pilot light so you would know the effect was on. There have been many occasions where I'd start a song, forgetting I had it on, and hear the flange effect, and go; "Oops! Forgot to turn it off!" But it does work very nicely with the Digitizer when I have it set for a delay, I get some soaring runs with that combination! One of these days, I do need to build a CV pedal to try out with the Flanger and see how that sounds. I do have a pretty good idea of how it sounds already, having already heard that with Pat Travers and Pat Thrall! They flanged in unison with those!
